I received my ASRock 330HT today and installed ubuntu+xbmc. Everything except for the remote is working great. I cannot get lirc to recognize the remote (irw never responds). I'm pretty sure I'm just using the wrong module (mceusb) but don't know which one would be correct.

Any Ideas which driver to use? Tried a bunch but so far no success (just random guesses anyways).

I'm having the same problem here with my new HT Asrock device. The IR receiver doesn't seem to work under linux. I've installed a minimal Ubuntu with fluxbox and XBMC on top of that. But I can't get the remote to work under XBMC or lirc (irw indeed does not respond).

BTW, I also can't seem to get the built-in wireless functionality to work. Did you get that to work zilence? This is no problem for me though, as I'm using a cable, but the IR receiver not working is frustating, I'm running out of options here...

I bought the Asrock ION 330 HT-BD.
Everything works great, but not the remote.
I tried Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10, XBMC 9.11 alpha 2 Live.
My old USB Microsoft eHome reciever works fine. I can use the Asrock remote and the Microsoft remote.

therealdude: Are you using ubuntu 9.04? I use ubuntu 9.10 now and Wireless works fine .

I've done just that, please everyone do the same and hopefully they will answer. Seems odd that they released some hardware with no Linux drivers as I'm sure they are aware that a lot of people buying this hardware will want to run Linux on it. Hope I'm not going to be forced to run Windows 7!

While I'm here: anyone got the sound output working over HDMI on Linux? Did you need to do anything special or did it "just work"?

I did not get HDMI audio working using Ubutu+XBMC.
I tried XBMC-Live-alpha2 and it worked "out of the box".
